Sowing and Reaping

Scripture – Galatians 6:6-8: ⁶Anyone who receives instruction in the word must share all good things with his instructor. ⁷Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. ⁸The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.

Reflection: – This is so clear there’s really nothing more to add. I will reap what I sow. Which nature will guide my living? That’s a choice I will face throughout this day.

I’ll step back from time to time and do a check on myself. Am I sowing from my sinful nature or the Spirit?

How will you live today? What fruit will come from the seeds you sow?

(Check out tomorrow’s reading for a clue to sowing from the Spirit.)
